A West Auckland Heritage

The Falls Hotel is an historic jewel in Waitakere’s crown. This first class setting has inspired owners Garry Bates and Alan Parry (ex London’s Ivy restaurant) and Nina Parry to bring a quality dining experience and an award-winning menu to West Auckland.

The kitchen team at The Falls Restaurant has achieved the New Zealand Beef and Lamb Hallmark of Excellence many times over and was awarded the Gold Plate award for 2006, 2007, 2008 and now again for 2009.

The wine list is phenomenally good – and with plenty of gold medal and trophy winners from here and overseas, including wines from West Auckland vineyards, there is no shortage of choice.

Voted West Auckland’s Number One Restaurant for 2008 and again for 2009

I’ve had some mixed experiences at this restaurant. Love the heritage building and the presentation is very classy. Their hand cut chips are lovely yet I’ve had a tomato soup that was extremely salty I could not finish it. I’ve also tried coming here for dinner but perhaps it was just me but the waitress seemed very snobby to me to just turn up without a reservation although I would think just a quick dinner or coffee after work would do but it was like they didn’t even want to serve us. Was it because we didn’t dress up or we looked asian? Its a bit pricy too. Perhaps its just one of those restaurants for the winey-diny set.

I don’t usually complain at restaurants but this was an exception. The worst dining experience we have had in a long time. Kids waited over an hour to get their food, and when it finally came, it was 2 measly little bits of grilled chicken when they ordered crumbed, 6, yes 6 chips and a bowl of lettuce!!! We said that they ordered crumbed so they went away and when the chicken finally arrived the kids had already finished there dessert! The mains we ordered were very average and lacking any substance and the manager protested that it didn’t take as long as we said. Very poor service and over-priced. Will definitely NOT be going back…

Thank you for your comments and feedback. After chatting with you on the day we analysed and changed our system for children’s meals. We now ask whether you would like all the meals together or would you prefer children’s to come out first. We unfortunately…    More »

We have been here a couple of times – once for breakfast and once for dinner. It’s a bit of a hidden gem – wonderful old heritage building with a nice olde worlde feel. Service is friendly, food is fine and reasonably priced, and the different dining areas make for intimate spaces – we liked the way they thoughfully put the “tables for two” together and the “family” tables in another area, so we weren’t subjected to Other People’s Children during our night out. The walls could have done with a few paintings or prints – a bit bare, but otherwise fine. Take some coin for the adjacent carpark area – surprisingly they charge 24/7, even here in the ‘burbs.

Went here for a wedding last month and it was amazing. I’m still daydreaming about the cremé brulee weeks later. The service was also great. Will be back soon.

My new favourite place. Service, food, wine were all amazing. We have had lunch today, the food was superbly prepared, the service was amazing and I loved the location! All great, from calamari, mussels, steak, pinot gris, to the espresso coffee at the end! All perfect!
The chef in the kitchen knows her job!!
We are impressed by the accuracy and care for details and we will be coming back for more and more!! Their menu is full of new matching things I have never tasted before.

Everyone must go to the falls !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
First time today and I am a fan!!!

Me and my husband went there for our 1 year wedding anniversary. Excellent food, warm and friendly service. They managed to book us in even at short notice. The presentation of the food is as wonderful as the taste. Good, romantic place for those special evenings, as they even have a beautiful walkway outside.
